The collection of school fees owing to a school is an intricate, involved and controversial activity that is fundamental to the successful operation of the school. Without these fees the quality of education in the fee-paying schools would drop and irreparable harm would be done to our educational system.

It is often surprising to the administration offices of schools, how difficult, complicated and frustrating collecting money from parents can be. After all, you are merely acquiring school fees for pupils that have received proper educational training and support.

The smart schools and educational training centres have however discovered that there’s a very simple and cost-effective service you can make use of to automate the collection of school fees. It’s called a debit order collection service.

Once you’ve registered the parents on the system, it will automatically debit funds from their bank account and transfer them over to you. No calling or waiting; just receive your funds as they are debited from the parent.

It offers distinct benefits that can dramatically aid your school: making you and your school more effective and optimising your cashflow.

By taking the initiative and collecting the money from the parent, you can avoid the needless phone calls and letters typically associated with outstanding school fees. The parents will also appreciate a hassle-free collection method whereby school fees can easily be paid.
